Ladies Long Program

Kiira struggled a lot in that program. I thought she was gifted in the short, let's see what happens here, but she did next to no triples.

Kiira Korpi
Phantasia
New dress! Pink and sparkly. She looks good in anything.

Honestly do not see her keeping her spot. Maybe she'll surprise
3T-both hands down
1Z - pop
Crowd is cheering her on
3R - nice
Spiral sequence - she has great edges as well, but she FALLS in the middle of it...oof. She did do all the positions, though.
Layback - not the prettiest
3Z - 2foot and possible UR
2R-2T, oh gosh...
2A-2T, fine
Combo spin - a bit wobbly
2A-2T-2T, good
Circular steps, she does have good basic quality
Flying sit spin, nice and low
Final combo spin, good basic positions, not so much on the I

Poor girl. Really, is the ice good quality here?

Don't worry about it, with this judging pannel she will still score in the 100s!

Oh please, I bet she'll score lower than Liang ( ...)

 

[MissIzzy]

Or maybe the judges were just very very impressed that Carolina didn't fall down?

 

[kikakiks]

The Asian girls deserved their scores last year.

They are good, the rest of the World is not.

?ok?...?

 

[capcomop]

Oh please, I bet she'll score lower than Liang ( ...)

Nope. Never happen. I bet she'll place above Meissner

 

[Sackie]

I wonder if the pressure of knowing the 3rd place was wide open to a number of skaters has taken a tole. This has not been a good night for ladies skating.

This is a sad, sad competition so far...hopefully the three girls left will skate blinders.

Kiira should be behind Bebe if they score right. Let's see

Her PCS will keep Kiira up. My gosh, Kiira is one of those few skaters who has that "factor" that can revitalize the sport... Just a pity. And like I said before, One of the best Music Choices for a FP this season by all the ladies.

 

[Spun Silver]

She's a really pretty skater, and I don't mean her face. A gracious way of using her head and upper body. But it seemed the choreography was just a bit beyond her means.

Kiira Korpi

3s (both hands down!)
1z unfortunate
crowd cheering her on!
3l (YES!)
falls doing back cross-over (SAD!)
3z (bad two-footed landing)
2l+2t
2a+2t
she's lovely!
2a+2t+2l
Grace Kelly beauty!
misses the end of her music slightly

the tech content is not there, but the presentation is.

 

[_Ladybug_]

Ouch, her scores...

 

[kikakiks]

Ah AH...that must be it...But I bet she got at least 12 points for the first combo.
Ironically she actually did good on the spins today...

 

[beep_beep]

35 for tech... UUUHHHH

 

[mizu_iro]

85.15 in the long and 145.73 overall gives Kiira 6th, right over Bebe.

 

[museksk8r]

heartbreaking reaction watching Kiira in kiss and cry

 

[GoldMedalist]

New dress for Yu-Na? I like it.

 

[museksk8r]

Come on Yu-Na . . . please skate well!

Sure, nothing like pulling off a triple in the LP!
